Harris, public examiner, relative to the
insane hospital investigation, alleges
that, whereas, Mr.. Dean, agent for the
Milwaukee railroad at this station, de.
livered to the hospital during the months
of June, July and August 260 tons OF
coal, and that, whereas, the records OF
his company show that he received
during those months only 249 tons OF
hard coal; therefore, how could he de-
liver more than he received? This is a
stupid proposition. We have not seen
Mr.. Dean on the subject, but we know
he is in the coal business and usually
keeps from q hundred to several hundred
tons of coal on hand. Besides, he
might have delivered some soft coal at
the hospital.

Governor Church had assured him of
his hearty endorsement. It now trans
pires that Governor Church heartily en-
dorsed the Woonsocket man and that
another viotim of misplaced confidence in
gubernatorial assurances is lying among
the breakers of the storm swept shores
of democracy. In q frsternal way we
are sincerely sorry for this circumstance
But Brother Sargent assures US that
George b. Hoffman was the Yankton APP.
plicant for the place, and not himself,

more exasperating for Hoffman.
